Back in June, Warner Bros. and DC Comics announced a new partnership agreement with adidas in which the entities would come together for a new Superman-inspired line of merchandise. The line will feature both the heroic Man of Steel and Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. Howard, whose nickname is Superman, first took the on-court persona of the superhero when he wore a cape for the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Part of this new collection will be this extremely limited Superman colorway of Dwight’s new adidas Beast signature shoe, set to arrive here at Eastbay in November.
White patent leather acts as the base of the shoe, while vision blue fills in the Three Stripes, side panels, heel counter and midsole. Comic graphics appear on the medial side panel, while Superman logos are centered on the tongue and heel. Dwight’s signature appears along the upper lace eyelets on the lateral side, while his number “12” appears on the medial side and tongue. A tab on the heel reads “Fortress of Solitude,” the headquarters of Superman himself. Lastly, a translucent outsole reveals a Superman logo graphic on the underside to complete the look.
You can pick up the limited Superman x Dwight Howard adidas Beast at Eastbay on November 1st.
That sole IS HOT
Why are these baby blue? Shouldn’t they be royal??? They look good but could be better with ta different shade of blue.
superman was born on a planet that was icey sorta
I think the idea was to create the the illusion of a sky, as opposed to a predictable royal blue look. Which kind of works out in adidas’ favor with the recently released Superman Huarache.
i’ll pick Shades of Grey over these
Wow, that’s a pretty nice colorway! No lie, I have never own a pair of Adidas before and if I have to pick-up a pair, these might be it.
Pure beauty.
The light blue symbolizes the fortress of solitude.
Good shoe for someone thats in love with these shoes. Not for me though. Inspiration is cool though
